Reading Fyodor Dostoevsky

Coordinator

“The
mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in
finding something to live for.” We will ponder these words, and
confront the Grand Inquisitor as we read Fyodor Dostoevsky’s
classic novel, The Brothers Karamazov. It is important that we
all use the same text because reference will regularly be made to
specific page numbers. We will be using the Farrar, Straus, Giroux
edition with ISBN number 0374528373. This paperback edition is
translated by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky. For the first
class meeting please read Books One and Two of Part 1 (pages 7-91).
